Abstract: A hanging tool for hanging an ornamental object, e.g., a picture, on a wall includes an extension pole having an anchor attachment attached to an upper end of the extension pole. The anchor attachment includes an anchor for supporting the ornamental object in a laterally offset position relative to the wall. The anchor is disposed along a substantially horizontal axis extending through the anchor attachment. The anchor attachment defines a marking bore offset from the anchor and angled relative to the axis of the anchor to position a marking device, e.g., a pencil, at the intersection of the axis of the anchor and the wall in order to mark the wall and transfer the vertical location of the anchor to the wall.
